The Rupert Neve Designs Newton Channel is a powerful modern channel strip born from a legendary sonic lineage. Its intuitive design provides classic sound on demand, with all the instantly recognizable character, musical tone-shaping abilities and proven reliability that define a Rupert Neve Designs product. The Newton is equally well suited for a project studio, large-scale commercial facility or live sound rig.

The name originates with Rupert’s birthplace?Newton Abbot, England?and reflects the sonic journeys of his life: from Newton Abbot to Wimberley, vintage to modern and everything in between. This is a truly versatile, world-class channel strip capable of bringing any source to life with the classic sound of Rupert Neve Designs.

The Newton Channel includes a fully Class-A mic preamp; a musical, 3-band discrete EQ section; a fast and flexible VCA compressor; and custom Rupert Neve Designs transformer-coupled outputs with Rupert Neve Designs’ revolutionary harmonic color stage: variable Silk Red and Blue. The Newton’s microphone preamplifier contains all the tone and musicality expected from a Rupert Neve Designs piece. This preamp makes it easy to quickly dial in a tight, clean and detailed sound; and with a robust 72dB of gain, including 6dB of fine trim control, the Newton is ideally suited for a wide variety of sources.

While the input stage is tailored to be an ideal match for standard microphone source impedance, it’s equally happy being driven by line levels?so a pair of Newtons can also be used as a high-end mixing tool for any studio. The Newton also includes Rupert Neve Designs’ distinctive variable high-pass filter with a comprehensive frequency range adjustment and independent bypass
